Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Breathing from a hole in my lung, I had no one
With faces in front of me
Racing through the void in my head, to find traces
Of a good luck academy
[PreChorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Sparks ignite and trade in for thought, about no one
And nothing in particular
Washed the sickened socket and drove, resent nothing
There's goodwill inside of me
[PreChorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Wake me up, lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything'll be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately, I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
[Verse 3]
Something that I'll never forget, I felt desperate
And stuck to the marrow
Invisible to everyone else, I'm a sex change
And a damsel with no heroine
[PreChorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Wake me up, lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything'll be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately, I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
[Bridge]
I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines
[Chorus]
Wake me up, lower the fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything'll be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately, I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line
